In the U.S., just over 48 percent of office paper is recovered for recycling. This is recycled into new products like paperboard, tissue, paper towels, notebook paper, copy paper, envelopes and more. Broward County employees can also recycle plastic bottles, metal and glass recyclables all in one receptacle. With our workforce of 5,600-strong, we can make a big difference.
